Advance

cassette

to

start

of

tape

Every

cassette

has

a

»leader«

at

both

ends

(usually

transparent)

which

cannot

be

played.

To

ensure

that

the

start

of

a

musical

item

is

recorded,

the

cassette

must

be

advanced

to

the

start

of

the

actual

tape.

Press

»start

>

«

until

you

can

see

that

the

leader

is

fully

wound

on

the

appropriate

reel,

then

press

»stop«.

Use

»reset«

to

return

the

tape

counter

to

zero.

Setting

recording

level

The

correct

recording

level

is

decisive

in

obtaining

a

recording

which

is

free

from

distortion

and

noise.

The

level

must

be

set

before

starting

recording,

since

major

adjustments

during

the

recording

will

be

clearly

audible

during

playback

as

fluc-

tuations

in

volume.

If

slight

adjustments

are

needed

during

recording

the

»

—re-

cord

level

+

«

control

should

be

slowly

set.

For

recordings

from

broadcasts,

records,

CD's

or

another

cassette

the

recording

level

should

be

set

by

the

»—

taken

into

account

when

cassettes

»Record

protect«

tabs

are

provided

for

each

side

of

the

cassette

on

the

rear

(to

locate

the tab

for

a

specific

side,

hold

the

cassette

with

the

label

for

that

side

upwards

and

the

tape

towards

you:

the

tab

is

on

left).

To

prevent

accidental

erasure

of

recordings,

break

off

the

tab.

The

resulting

gap

is

detected

by

a

sensor

on

the

deck

which

prevents

recording

on

that

side.

If

you

want

to

record

on

a

pro-

tected

cassette,

simply

cover

the

gap

with

adhesive

tape.
